rtc commented on the word choro
El choro es un eructo particularmente ruin. Se produce de manera silenciosa, llega sin avisar y su secreción tampoco es perceptible normalmente. Sin embargo, segundos después, un olor a chorizo nauseabundo invade el aire. Para gente experta en detectarlo, se puede observar en el rictus del ejecutante segundos antes de perpetrarlo, una involución de aire y una expiración (generalmente disimulada) que da lugar al auswitz posterior. Gran maestro de esta técnica es el bur.

Brazilian music genre...melancholic, started in the 19th century before Bossa Nova...from wikipedia, "Originally choro was played by a trio of flute, guitar and cavaquinho (a small chordophone with four strings). Other instruments commonly played in choro are the mandolin, clarinet, and saxophone. These melody instruments are backed by a rhythm section composed of guitar, 7-string guitar (playing bass lines) and light percussion, such as a pandeiro. The cavaquinho appears sometimes as a melody instrument, other times as part of the rhythm."
